PNE WIND AG sold the "Kemberg II" wind farm with five wind energy systems with a nominal output of 10 MW to EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg.

The wind farm project developer, PNE WIND AG has completed the construction of the "Kemberg II" wind farm in Saxony-Anhalt. Five Vestas V90 wind energy systems with a nominal output totalling 10 MW and an overall height of 150 metres have been constructed and are already in operation. After commissioning, the wind farm can therefore be handed over in turnkey condition to the purchaser, EnBW Erneuerbare Energien GmbH. PNE WIND AG will continue to be responsible for the technical and commercial operation of "Kemberg II".

The "Kemberg II" wind farm replaces five wind energy systems, which had been decommissioned. This makes it a repowering project - i.e. a replacement of older wind energy systems by more modern and more efficient ones. In addition, this project rationalises the large Kemberg wind field by occupying free space in the existing suitable planning area.

The wind energy systems constructed in the "Kemberg II" wind farm can satisfy the annual electricity requirements of about 6,300 average private households. At the same time, the systems make a significant contribution to the protection of the environment because environmentally friendly production of electricity from wind saves over 17,000 tons of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances annually.

Stefan Thiele, Spokesperson for the Managing Board of EnBW Erneuerbare Energien GmbH highlighted: "ENBW has continually expanded its onshore wind portfolio over the past few years and with the completion of the Kemberg project our portfolio is now six times bigger today.  We will continue to view our partnerships with project developers as a key ingredient to achieve our ambitious growth targets."

Martin Billhardt, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PNE WIND AG, comments: "With the completion of the Kemberg II wind farm we have realised one of our many projects in Germany. Once again we have successfully completed another repowering project. We will continue to follow this path and also drive forward our foreign and offshore wind farm projects rapidly."
